Among other official duties in which
Sheriff Sharpless and his deputies are EN-.
gagged Just now is the subpening of wit
nesses in criminal cases which are coming
up at the term of court soon to convene.
1t is found that many of those witnesses
whose names appear on the records as
such have disappeared, and in some IN
stances it will be impossible to obtain
them in time for court, and probably not
at all. The most OF those who are not to
be found are parties who gave their W
recognizauce for appearance at the coming
term, but have long since gone out of the
territory. Such being the case, they are
of course beyond the jurisdiction of the
court, and it is feared that in some cases
the parties accused of crime will have to
be turned loose for lack OF evidence.

Under the law a school district can only
vote a tax of not exceeding three mills
upon the taxable property. Several of
the school districts in the county, how.
ever, at the recent annual school election
voted a tax far in excess of this, and now
the question is the same one that Tweed
asked, "What are you going to do about
it2' Undoubtedly the school laws We're
available and could have been examined
at every place in the county where cleo
tions were recently held. but as the great
est lawyers in the country are men who
have never looked in a law book nor a
statute, and were they to do so would
probably be unable to find what they
wanted, in all probability the law on the
subject was not consulted at all, and
hence the muddle.

The Geo. g. Mead camp of Sons of
Veterans Of this city has lately been vic
timized in two ways. In the first place,
an officer of the camp, who he now de
parted for other chimes, collected, or at
least received in various ways, about sos
belonging to the camp, which he failed to
turn over before leaving; and this is not
all, for his sword (Which was the property
of the camp) was pawned by him at one
Of the pawnbroker shops in the city for
the sum of So. The question now is, how
the camp is to get the sword back, for not
being incorporated it can neither sue nor
be sued. The camp was also victimized
mot through any fault of its OWN by
reason of the insuficiency OF the provis-
ions foS admitting new members, and for
this reason a number Of supposed SONS of
veterans united with the order who did
not belong there at all-their fathers never
having smelled gunpowder except at some
very sanglinary and 40 doubt exciting
squirrel hunts. Their names had to be
dropped from the roll, but among them
was n for whom the camp, on account
of sickness, etc, paid out the sun of ISL.

Somehow the little city of Lusk is pc
~culiarly unfortunate in some respects.
having had turbulent times and drawbacks
ever since the first blow was struck. The
latest misfortune, however, comes through
an oversight and is in relation to the
schools at that place. With commenda-
BILE enterprise the energetic people of
Lusk have not only built a school house,
but are supporting a good school too. At
the recent school election and meeting in
Lusk through the fault of some one who
ought to have known better the district
voted to levy a tax of three mills on the
taxable property Of that district. The
law provides that the tax must ''be voted
in dollars" and if it is not voted in that
way it has been held hat it cannot be
collected at all. The situation is one that
the Northwestern railway will be quick to
take advantage of and thereby avoid the
payment of its taxes.

Gus Folghren, who is employed at the
Wybrecht mills, was quite badly hurt yes.
terday, and his injuries may prove to be
very serious. He was engaged at one of
the lathes, and had in his hands at the
time a short piece of board which he was
using in connection with his work. The
board in some way got caught in the ma
chinery in such a way that it was driven
end foremost against the lower portion of
his stomach, infiicting a painful injury,
which is probably internal as well as ex-
ternal. Medical aid was summoned, and
when last heard from he was as comfort
able as could be expected under the cir
cumstances.

APPLYING FOR PATENTS.
The Union Pacific Railway Company
After Their Land.

The Union Pacific Railway company
through it's agents and attorneys, Messrs.
Corlett, Lacey 4 Riner, are taking the
necessary steps to procure patents to large
patches of land, which under the grant
made by congress has belonged to the
company ever since and even before the
territory was organized. On Monday of
this week MIR. Corlett, one of the attor-
neys for the company, made a payment of
the usual patent fees, including costs of
survey, etc., on various tracts of land
amounting in all to 1882 acres, aud the
patents for this large amount will be
forthcoming in the due course of the
rules and regulations of the land depart
ment. This land has belonged 10
the Union Pacific Railway company
for many years. but they have obtained no
patents tor it, probably for the reason
that by so doing the company would
thereby be compelled to pay taxes thereon,
and the company of course. like a private
individual, has not cared to pay taxes
where it was not obliged to.
This $4,000 acres of land are all sit.
uated in Albany county, and between
ranges 70 and 78 inclusive, which fact will
hereafter be of some material benefit to
Albany county, as somebody will have to
pay taxes thereon. A portion ofthis land
is quite valuable and all of it is good at
least for grazing and ranch purposes and
it is presumed that most of it will be dis
posed OF to actual settlers within a very
short time.
There are still other lands in the terri
tory for which the company has not as yet
obtained patents, but it is presumed will
do so very soon.

q. f. Annett, who is now in the city.
speaking in regard to Salt Lake City. says
that there is now quite an incoming of
anti Mormons to that place, and that 1t is
expected that this element will come in
larger numbers in the near future. Some
eastern parties who have recently made
heavy Investments in Salt Lake will draw
many others after them, and the Midland
railroad, with which ex Governor Murray
is connected, it is expected will have a
material effect in changing the relative
strength of the two opposing elements in
that city. Mr.. Annett thinks that with
an addition of 5000 ''gentiles' the tables
would be turned politically against the
Mormons in the City of the Saints.

ENFORCING THE SUNDAY LAW.
One Saloon Keeper Arrested Twice Yesterday
for Selling Beer Indirectly.

But few saloon-keepers attempted to violate
the law yesterday and those who did had a very
unpleasant day of it. They were compelled to
employ men to stand guard on the outside, and
admitted customers only when the police were
out of sight. The vioators were principally
among the Illinois and Washington street
saloon-keepers, and in order to keep close
watch on them Superintendent Travis had some
extra men duty in that part of the city.
Early in the morning Charles Stuekey, the East
Washington barkaeper for Sim Coy stationed
himself in front of his door, and whenever the
police were away would allow the dry crowd
standing around to enter. When the officers
would return he would put the men out the rear
door and raise his curtains. Superintendent
Travis got tired of this, and at noon put spe-
cial officer at the saloon door. AZ

Stuckey, "but l can't to be watched"
and after that he locked his doors and went
home. Chris Michel, the proprietor of the
Union Hail saloon. consulted his lawyer, and
was advised TO follow a plan by which he was
told he would effecIually evade the law. At 3
o'clock in the afternoon he opened his doors to
try the scheme. By the side of the door he
placed n small boy, and on table in the rear of
the room key of beer. AS the customers

he had paid for. Business getting brisk

rested Michel and took him to the station
house. where he gave bond and returned to his
saloon. A half hour later Sergeant Lowe
was passing the ball aud found fifteen

leased on a second bond. given by friend who
had secured all he wanted TO drink. When the

tho Mayor this morning, It was Michel
who became the agen. OF the Liquor
League in trying a similar plan when
Travis was superintendent last fall. he
was then arrested and fined. The League, ne
claims, had promised to pay his fine, but deserted
him after his arrest.
Superintendent Travis takes the names OF all
the persons arrested for drunkenness on Sun
day. with the purpose of having them before the
grand jury to give testimony as to where they
got their liquor. The names of persons passing
in and out of saloons also being taken. and
IN all he has nearly one hundred who will be
summoned as grand jury witnesses.
Patrolmen Buscher and Clark have had a
great deal of trouble with Fred Ile. at No. %
Virginia avenue, and Adam Click, on the corner
OF Pennsylvania street. Late last night they
knocked on Ile's door. and who is there came
from the inside. "John Rodgers" answered
Mr.. Bnscher, and the door swung open.
The two officers went in and found
several men drinking at the bar.
Mr.. Zig was very Indignant but he
was taken to the station house nevertheless.
Adam Click had his front room closed and dark
ened, but the officers saw light in a rear room.
In an out-of-the-way place they found en-
trance to it. Inside was found Mr.. Click deal
ing out key of beer to a house full of custom

private rooms for Sunday use, but Superintend-
